Top Cheaters On The CS:GO Pro Stage

KQLY assures that he has never used cheats in official matches. According to him, he limited himself to matchmaking and community servers. However, this does not matter anymore: his career is ruined, and his attempts to return to the top through the tier-3 scene did not lead to success. And even if he succeeded, he still would not be able to participate in the majors.

However, Tovmasyan managed to leave his mark on the history of CS:GO. Aside from the VAC scandal, he will forever be remembered for that insane jump shot on Yaroslav pashaBiceps Yarzabkowski:

Gordon Sf Giry

Here is another Frenchman who made the same mistake as KQLY. The only difference is that Sf did not have the same great prospects. He received a ban from Valve, left the pro scene, and everyone quickly forgot about him.

Sf like the previously mentioned player Titan, had fun with cheats in CS:GO matchmaking. His hope for insufficient protection of the VAC system did not come true, and the account ban arrived just in time for the DreamHack Winter 2014 major. Therefore, his Epsilon Esports team was immediately disqualified from the championship. Unlike KQLY, Sf didn't even try to return to CS:GO afterwards. He realized his guilt and forever tied up with the career of an esportsman.

Joel emilio mako

Because of emilio, no one was deprived of a slot at the major, but the world learned about his ban more effectively. He received a VAC ban right on the broadcast of the Fragbite Masters Season 3 LAN tournament. It happened during the match against HellRaisers, where Alexander was still playing at that time s1mple Kostylev.

This led to the disqualification of his Team Property team from the tournament, and the player himself was kicked from the roster the same day. At first, he completely denied his guilt and assured that Valve could confirm his words. However, a little later, emilio spoke differently and stated that he used cheats, but only in CS:GO matchmaking.

As you can see, emilio, like with KQLY and Sf, denies the possibility that he used third party programs in official matches. However, he cannot prove his innocence by facts: everything is only in words.

After this incident, Joel's career was almost completely destroyed. He occasionally played for small mixes, but the road to serious teams was blocked for him. However, recently emilio lit up at the VALORANT tournament. Therefore, he still has hope to take the path of an esportsman again. The main thing is that Riot Games should not be against it.

Nikil forsaken Kumawat

This guy has surpassed everyone else on this list. He wasn't just banned by VAC... he was caught cheating right on stage during a LAN match!

KQLY and Sf were having fun with cheats at home. Emilio also had the decency not to come to the LAN with third-party software. But forsaken did not hesitate to download the program files to the tournament PC, launched it and used it right in front of the eXTREMESLAND ZOWIE Asia CS:GO 2018 admins!

Obviously, he was quickly caught red-handed. The game was then stopped, the showdown began. forsaken tried to delete the cheat files in a hurry, but they were restored, and in the end they became evidence of his guilt.

It is not known exactly what kind of software it was, but it was called "Easy Frags" [Easy Frags]. Looking at his performance in that match, it can be assumed that Aimbot was used in this case. As it turned out later, this was not the first tournament where forsaken played with cheats. ESL found evidence of his foul play at the ESL India Premiership 2018 Fall Finals. As a result, Nikil received a 5 year ban and a VAC ban. It is unlikely that the esports world will ever hear of him again.

Worst of all, forsaken has taken a toll on the Indian CS:GO scene. And so organizations like OpTic Gaming no longer want to inject their capital into it. Local players again found themselves in "isolation" and without much chance to break into international competitions.
